Lette/rs Patent No. 86,310, dated J anca/ry 26, 1869.

IIVEPROVED WEATHER-STRIP FOR DOORS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same,

To all whom it ma/y conce/rn:

Be it known that I, J. I. MABBETT, of Titusville, in the county of Crawford, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Weather-Strips for Outside Doors; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this speciflcatibn, and in which-- Figure l represents a front view, and Figure 2, an inverted view of my weather-strip. Similar letters indicate like parts in both figures. My invention relates to improvements in weatherstrips, and consistsin the employment of a drop, or

- hingedjbar, covered with oil-cloth or rubber, in comedge of the drop 0,1m order to t water-tight against the frame when the door is closed.

The spring-bar bis made ,asA seen in iig. 2, and it may be made of rubber, and is secured to the door under the drop.

d is a pin, secured to the inner surface of the frame B, and is so placed that, when the door is closed, the weather-strip, or drop, G, will be forced against it, and it being made to yield, will thereby be securely held down against the bottom of the door, and the sill of the door-frame, preventing.A any possible chance 0f the watergaining admittance to the room:

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is y The oil-cloth or rubber, a, hinged to .the lower part of the door, and projecting belowit, in combination with the drop C, spring-bar b, and pin d, all arranged and operated as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I aix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.

J. I. MABBETT. [L 5.]
